I think what Firehawk is trying to say is that each new FF trying to push the genre to something new system wise. For instance FFXIII pushed the idea of what ATB can be (ie. fast). FFXII pushed the envelope with their gambit system. FFXI, at time of release, was pushing the envelope of "team-oriented" MMO. FFX pushing the envelope on Turn Based. ect.

I a way he is saying that he doesn't see FFXIV pushing the envelope in any way, just stealing from other systems. I don't agree but that's what I think he is saying.

I see they've got the classic mithra F6A remade. Cads 2.0 isn't gonna look that different it seems.

Still fapping at her too. Godammit, I'm gonna tear off so much skin.

[Vacht]

if you click on hyuran midlanders, the black guy doesnt seem right, his white vest looks like a bra ;-/

except for that, overall though I'm liking the clothing styles

LO FUCKING L

Shadow People
Shader

For hundreds of years, the Shaders have inhabited dark caves. Developing bat-like ears, they can sense the enemy’s movement by the rustling of clothes. Because of this, many Shaders excel in hand-to-hand combat. Turning to thievery in order to sustain their cave-dwelling life, they are despised by the forester as turncoats.

Looks like i have to be elvaan... thievery biatch! I might name him batman. Elvaans have totally changed their tune in this game. Thank tha lord. However i think everyone lame ass and their bag of chips is going to be this race. Hyur highlander pugilist would be rad.

[Warudo Ecksu]

lalafell look awesome. Now I'm just concerned that I'll pick one tribe and wish I'd picked the other I like em both

[Sirenia]

I don't know to chose Hyur or Lalafell. Lalafell is looking better with each update, Hyur looks plain.

[Rowe]

well lets all hope SE follows a lot of other games' lead and releases a Character Creator stand alone application to promote the game before release.

But I wouldn't worry too much about tribal differences, from the look of things so far you will be able to say make a Plainsfolk Lalafell look pretty close to a Dunesfolk Lalafell if you want.

[Agito]

I think it's safe to say that there won't be a female version of the Hyur Highlander race, this puts it at 8 male and 7 female playable races. This can mean that there will be a completely new race that has both a male and female for one tribe but the second tribe of this new race will only have a female version and there's room for even more races to be introduced. Now for the alternative which i personally prefer, it can mean that there can be 3 or more tribes for each race. So, a Roegadyn can have 2 more tribes that are slimmer, more attractive female only versions of the Roegadyn but it wouldn't make much sense for the exact same thing to happen with the Miqo'te race because male versions can easily fit into the 2 existing tribes.

Would you like to see something as to what i described or would you like to see everything kept the same? I personally wouldn't don't want to see it kept like this because all i see right now is a gaping hole with only a male version of the Highlander Hyur race if i happen to be right in my speculation that there won't be a female version. (edit) There's room for all kinds of variations, i didn't list them all because i see endless possibilities.

This will end, interestingly.

I'm sorry, but this wins the thread.

We can't stop here, this is Shader country.

[Omniyoji]

Yeah I'm pretty sure they will. Their site should still have that cheap o deluxo character creation trial. This time around tho it won't be as bland since will be given a multitude of options.

[Cantih]

I think we're primed for it. I mean, most of the fan/news site people are tarus (Elmer, Pikko, historically Bercus).

Bercus would be great, he already gets shafted over by S-E for news. We just ply him with drugs, get him good and angry, and set him loose as the new Hunter S Taru.

(Yes, I like HST & Spider Jerusalem a bit much. Something cute like a Taru/Lalafel but with a personality like that amuses me no no end.)

[Ghostsix.Midgard]

The 6A mithra is back. I'll be fapping for the rest of the afternoon if anyone needs me.

Also, is anyone seeing a little FFT:A in those new taru pictures? I'm absolutely seeing Mewt Randall in that Sand-dweller male taru face. All of those taru profile pics have a very similar style to the advanced series artwork, which is great, because I loved the artwork in those games.

that caught my eye right away.
Nice to see HD renderings of all the hairstyles from FFXI, but considering how detailed the characters are, I'm mad. WHY NO GALKA TAILS?

[Rowe]

Elmer did a piece back at the reveal of the FFXIV races about Galka without tails. Some of the concept art for Galkas, they didn't have tails.

A Galka By Any Other Name…


I have read that the developers are hinting at possible secret race being added and I'm wondering if Viera might be the added race to make up for lack of female Highlanders. Perhaps it is just an oversight on SE's part that no female was show for Highlanders, they simply hadn't gotten around to making one that stood out enough for them to display on the sight at this time. If highlanders are as tough as they look I am sure there would be kickass lady highlanders out there being Mercs too.

According to that rough translation of their description, Highlanders in and of themselves are rare, females especially so. As is it's only the rare merc man who comes down from the hills while the majority of them, including all the women, stay in their homeland. I'm not expecting female highlanders anymore then I'm expecting female Galka or male Mithra at this point.

Also, if there is another race added, it's probably not going to be Viera. Hell, they still haven't explained that random horned kid in the original art piece that came out when this game was announced, and I could easily see that being added as a new race.

[Lovian]

it wasn't a horned kid it was just the positioning of something behind him that made it look like horns.

Official youTube Channel is up with a new video

[Rowe]

well, I am hoping that Highlander woman make a showing in the game as playable and they are kickass, something along the lines of this



All the other females are typical, along the lines of being feminine and cute and we need some tough kickass woman to spice things up.

[Ziero]

Kinda looks like Lion on 'roids
